Hurrah For Minnesota Twins

November 9, 1987

David Rizzo of Sanford wrote a letter in which he disparaged the achievements of the Minnesota Twins in winning the league playoff and the World Series. Columnist George Will claims Toronto is the best team.

Such begrudgement of the Twins' victory is sour grapes.

Handsome is as handsome does. The Blue Jays and the Tigers had their chances and blew them. The Twins, on the contrary, seized their opportunities (as champions must) and went on to the ultimate victory. Who cares that the won only 85 games in the regular season. The point is irrelevant. The Twins won when the chips were down. More power to them.
